<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>Qt is a commercial and open source licensed cross-platform application and UI framework. It is developed by The Qt Company, together with the Qt Project Community under an open source governance model.</p>
<p>Using Qt, you can write GUI applications once and deploy them across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.</p>
<p>Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or a third party compiler as indicated in the overview below.</p>
<p>Open GL (ES) 2.0, DirectX 9 or 11 (with ANGLE), or an <a href="http://doc.qt.io/QtQuick2DRenderer">alternative renderer</a> is required for <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-index.html">Qt Quick</a> 2. <a href="../qtwidgets/qtwidgets-index.html">Widgets</a> can be used without hardware acceleration.</p>
<p>In Qt 5 all platforms are created using the <a href="qpa.html">Qt Platform Abstraction</a> (QPA), which makes it easy to port Qt into a new operating system.</p>
<p>The following platforms are supported in Qt 5.14. For support information for prior Qt releases, please consult the relevant version in the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/archives/">Qt Documentation Archives</a>.</p>
<p>Configurations in <b>bold</b> are <a href="supported-platforms.html#reference-configurations">Reference Configurations</a>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>Support for specific configurations or operating system versions may end before the support for Qt 5.14 does. A subsequent patch release of Qt 5.14 may drop support for a configuration as a <i>reference configuration</i> or replace it with a currently-supported version.</p><a name="desktop-platforms"></a>

If the browser supports WebAssembly then Qt should run.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>Qt has a fixed WebGL requirement, also for apps that do not use WebGL directly. Browsers often blacklist WebGL for older/unsupported GPUs.</p><a name="embedded-platforms"></a>
<h2 id="embedded-platforms">Embedded Platforms</h2>
<p>For embedded platform support, including <a href="embedded-linux.html">Embedded Linux</a>, <a href="integrity.html">INTEGRITY</a>, <a href="qnx.html">QNX</a>, and <a href="vxworks.html">VxWorks</a>, please consult the <a href="http://doc.qt.io/QtForDeviceCreation">Qt for Device Creation</a> documentation.</p>
<a name="reference-configurations"></a>
<h2 id="reference-configurations">Reference Configurations</h2>
<p>The reference configurations are run on the continuous integration (CI) system within Qt Project. In addition, they are subjected to unit test suite and other internal testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree branching, and at other significant period points in the development process). Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction. Significant errors discovered in tested configurations can impact release dates.</p>
<p>Any configurations not listed above are not actively tested by the Qt Project. However, Qt may run on configurations other than those actively tested on, and additional configurations may be raised to tested state, if sufficient effort is made to bring continuous integration to an acceptable state for that particular configuration. The reference configurations are subject to change during the lifetime of a Qt release.</p>
<p>Details of the reference configurations are stored as <i>provisioning scripts</i> in the <a href="https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt5.git/tree/coin?h=5.14">qt5 Git repository</a>.</p>
<p>The Qt Company provides support for the officially supported platforms and configurations. The Qt Company, Qt partners, open source projects and community users are also able to provide assistance with various different platforms and configurations.</p>
<a name="availability-of-packages"></a>
<h2 id="availability-of-packages">Availability of Packages</h2>
<p>You can download the Qt 5 installers and source packages from the <a href="http://qt.io/download">Downloads</a> page. For more information, visit the <a href="gettingstarted.html">Getting Started with Qt</a> page.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>All the supported configurations are not provided as binary packages in the Qt installer. However, the intention is to provide the most widely-used reference configurations for the developer's convenience.</p><a name="exceptions"></a>
<h3 id="exceptions">Exceptions</h3>
<p>Individual modules might be available only on some platforms, or they might not support all configurations. For example, as Qt WebEngine has Chromium as a third-party dependency, platform or configuration limitations upstream also apply to Qt WebEngine.</p>
<p>The documentation for each module contains detailed information about any exceptions the module has from the general platform and configuration support as described on this page.</p>
<a name="deployment-of-qt-applications"></a>
<h2 id="deployment-of-qt-applications">Deployment of Qt Applications</h2>
<p>The deployment procedure for each platform is different and they are covered in greater detail in their platform pages. Meanwhile, there is a deployment article for summarizing the deployment procedure in general.</p>
